This really sounds like a good idea. Sounds a lot like some of the projects I got back in high school physics. We made mousetrap cars for distance, speed, and then electric racers for speed. The idea...

Recommended servo saver adjustments

So I was browsing the off-road forum, and heard someone talking about servo saver settings. This got me thinking about what went into my steering linkage, so I took a closer look and... duh, I've got...

I use Futaba radios (An old-model Magnum Jr and a new Magnum 2PL, both 75MHz AM) and haven't had glitching with either, IF the antenna is at least partially extended. With it collapsed, I can get...

Most ceramic bearings require little to no maintenance. They wear very slowly even dry, and when they do wear (most will go through a breaking-in period), they self-lubricate.

It depends on the ESC. Most of em have a power switch that simply cuts the battery power to the ESC. If there's no circuit through the ESC, there's no current flow.

So, the next question that needs to be begged is, how does this amperage to weight data translate into power-to-weight? A linear increase in draw won't necessarily relate directly to RPMs or torque.

It seemed a little dangerous to me too when I first saw it. It's the reason I shyed away from ESCs designed for direct solder connections. But it seems simple enough that since the ESC switch is a...

But remember, TOO stiff will cause the car to skitter. It's unlikely given that most parts are tuned to avoid this, but if you set it up for carpet and try it on an asphalt track, you'll see more...

When you put a plug or switch into an electrical circuit, you always get more resistance. If the voltage involved was higher, this wouldn't be a big deal, but in most of these cars you're trying to...

The rising storm does look really good, I'm just not a huge fan of pink. The shell comes pre-colored, though, so not much choice. Not a big deal on a kit like this.

There's one (I think it's the rising storm) that has a little duct in the side to help cool the motor. It especially helps when you have the motor heatsink installed. With that tub chassis reducing...

You hit it on the button. I've driven it just about everywhere you can imagine I could take this car, except an actual track. It drives almost like a 4WD on a urethane-sealed roller-skating rink...

The throttle exp would be a cool feature, but my radio just has EPA. It's a linear, but with more throw than some of the other radios I've tried.

The best thing you can do to a TL-01 chassis, if you haven't already done so, is put in a bearing kit. If you aren't unduly worried about TCS, Duratrax makes a kit for half the cost of Tamiya's. I...

Lower torque better for RWD?

So, now my F1 car (an F103 McLaren Mercedes) is back together and running, I'm wondering if it's worth hopping up. It's the RS, which has a few hopups like the CF chassis and ball bearings already....
